Asians in general are a racist bunch, but then again, so are a lot of other groups. This sounds very petty, but I assure you, at least in a general sense, it’s true.

In Asia, skin color is very important. You’ll notice that Asians come in many shades, even within one group (such as Chinese). Dark skin automatically labels you as something lower or inferior, because in the old days, this meant you were a laborer in the fields, exposed to the sun. Light skin means you’re rich, or at least upper-middle class and out of the sun. It’s incredibly, embarassingly stupid, but true.

Whenever the subject of race comes up at family gatherings, I’ll be sure to hear some kind of comment on skin color. One of my cousins is an avid swimmer, and he often receives comments on his dark skin, in the negative realm. On the other hand, I’m rather fair-skinned, and whenever my grandmother gave me compliments on my fair skin, I wouldn’t accept them.
